Hollyland Spares - Lavalier Microphone (Black) (for Lark Max)

The Hollyland Lavalier Microphone (Black) (for Lark Max) is the official factory spare omnidirectional lapel mic built explicitly to interface with the Lark Max wireless audio transmitter nodes.

While the Lark Max transmitters feature an excellent built-in omnidirectional microphone capsule on their outer chassis, high-end commercial sets, documentary interviews, and broadcast scenarios often require a visually discreet profile. This spare lavalier plugs straight into the transmitter's top-panel port, allowing you to hide the transmitter inside a talent's back pocket or clip it onto a belt line.

Core Acoustical & Mechanical Features

• Precision Omnidirectional Polar Pattern: Designed to capture a natural, uncolored $360^{\circ}$ pickup sphere. This pattern ensures consistent vocal tracking even if the speaker turns their head away from the capsule during energetic presentations or walk-and-talk interviews.

• Low-Profile Capsule Geometry: The capsule housing is engineered with an ultra-slim, lightweight structural footprint. This sleek black geometry allows it to blend seamlessly into suits, ties, and dark clothing layouts, keeping it visually unobtrusive on camera.

• Gold-Plated 3.5mm TRS Connection: Terminates in a high-conductivity, standard $3.5\text{mm}$ TRS mini-plug. The gold-plating eliminates micro-corrosion and static pops, ensuring a solid, noise-free connection when inserted into the Lark Max transmitter's automated input detection port.

• Durable Kevlar-Reinforced Shielding: The flexible connection cable is wrapped in a high-tensile shielding jacket designed to handle demanding production environments. It resists stretching, kinking, and internal micro-fractures caused by talent routing cables under tight shirts or costumes.

Included Support Hardware

The spare package ships complete with all matching black clip-wear and wind mitigation layers:

1. All-Metal Alligator Lapel Clip: Heavy-duty, spring-tensioned clip that firmly grips fabric layers without damaging premium clothing materials.

2. High-Density Foam Windscreen: Slips over the capsule node to significantly dampen sharp vocal plosives ("P" and "B" popping sounds) and room ambient air conditioning hiss.

Technical Specifications Matrix

On-Set Hidden Lav Rigging Advice: Because the Lark Max handles exceptionally high audio gain levels without clipping, you can easily use medical tape or moleskin to hide this lavalier completely beneath a talent's clothing layer. When mounting it underneath silk or synthetic fabrics, wrap a small loop of tape around the cable right below the capsule to create a "friction loop"—this stops the fabric from rubbing against the capsule head, preventing clothing rustle from ruining your audio track.
